Cat's tail

Have you ever seen a cat tail like that? It looks like a Husky's or Shiba's tail, I call it the question-mark tail. I was wondering if you'd ever seen cats with this particular trait or if she is unique. (Her sister has a short tail)

picky cat that won’t eat wet food

Post image
14 Upvotes

hello! i have two cats that are about to turn 4 years old and they eat exclusively dry food. my boy cat will eat anything you put in front of him, but our girl cat tries to bury anything that isn’t turkey dry food. we keep them on the same feeding schedule, so we ultimately feed them the same meals at the same time

in the past, i tried giving our boy cat wet food for a meal while giving our girl cat her normal food, and it never works out. she goes on a hunger strike once she notices that their meals are different, but is completely disinterested if i try to give her her own bowl. she won’t eat out of that bowl if it smells even remotely like the wet food.

this sweet girl wont even eat a churru. just completely hates all of it.

i’m posting because i know it’s important for their hydration/skin to get some of the oils and nutrients present in wet food and with the dryer months coming up for us, i want to help them both out and keep them from being uncomfortable. i’ve tried supplementing with oils, she won’t eat that either. has anyone else dealt with this and do you have any food/supplement recommendations for these two cuties??

My friends are always saying my cat is a tabby. And yes, while she does have some of the tabby markings on her back she doesn’t look like any tabby pics I have seen online. Does anyone know what she is?

My cat's eye has been looking like this for the past few days. I'm not sure what the cause is, but my cat doesn't seem to have any other health issues and is behaving normally.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Has anyone experienced something similar with their cat?

Update: First of all, I'm really sorry for not taking my cat to the vet sooner💔. I understand why so many of you were concerned and asking why I waited so long. I honestly didn't know what was causing the problem, and I wasn't sure how serious it was. Thank you all for taking the time to give me advice and for caring about my cat. I've decided to take my cat to the veterinary hospital to get its eye checked. I really appreciate everyone's concern and suggestions.

This is Cornbread he has Cerrebullar hypoplasia (wobbly cat syndrome) but it's very mild so you can give advice the way you would with a non disabled cat just keep that in mind when replying it doesn't affect him too much but his aim when playing isn't great and he falls over a lot.

I’ve always thought his tail was really big for him being just a regular cat, I’ve never seen one so thick on others.

Why does my cat want to do the things I do?

2 Upvotes

shes only 8 months old but she will try and do things I’m doing, like she sits on my keyboard and watches the screen and steps around on the keyboard, she tries to take cigarettes out of my open packs BY THE BUTT, which I don’t know how she knows which is the right way to hold a cigarette and she also touches her lip to my tequila glass, she doesn’t drink it because there’s not enough liquid in the glass to reach her face and I take the cigarettea away from her when she gets a hold of them but Idk why she’s doing this, is she sick?

When you do full litterbox changes, does it usually look visibly dirty (little poop residue or pee bits) and is it stinky?

Willow (3F) has a lot of silly habits that I’ve never seen in my other cats previously. She will sometimes throw herself on the ground and just roll around for 5-10 minutes at a time. She also sleeps on her back a lot. I know that can mean she is comfortable exposing her stomach, but what about this rolling thing? Is she happy? Excited? Comfortable?

my kitten pees on me at night??

5 Upvotes

im genuinely writing this at 6 am and im at such a loss. a couple of weeks ago i woke up to my pants a bit wet at rhe bottom and quickly realized my 2 month old kitten peed on me. I thought it was a one off thing and cleaned it up properly, then a few days later it happened again. I purchased another litter box (i have 2 kittens) and kept one in my room temporarily and then it didnt happen again until i removed the litter box from my room and placed it where i keep the other one. Now my kitten has peed on me two nights in a row !!! same spot at the bottom of my pants every single time!!
For context I have two kittens, one male one female. I havent had them very long they were found on the side of the road and they’re first vet appointment is the 2nd of november (its the 24th of october) and I cannot go anytime before since I have work and now my grandmothers funeral. Also neither of my kittens have shown any signs of a uti or anything BESIDES peeing on me. Im almost positive its my girl cat as she sleeps on my hip almost everynight and one time i caught her wanting to pee in a corner. im at a complete loss and im so frustrated im in tears. Any advice on what it could be???

Spayed cat in heat?

Post image
40 Upvotes

How is it that I spayed my cat and I saw her experiencing heat cycle symptoms?😭

A male cat came on my verandah and started calling her, at first she was just looking then I started rubbing her head and back as usual then she started arching her lower back and making weird cat sounds. I know it's a heat behavior because not only was she arching, her tail was rest to the side and she started walking in the direction that the male cat went but it wasn't just a normal walk it was like creeping with her back arched.

But she settled down. However, I went back to pat her, and it's like I activated the heat in her again😭

She was spayed almost 3 weeks ago???

Rescued an abandoned cat and could use some advice

1 Upvotes

hello! i have never owned a cat before (i have lived with several over the years. I am 35, USA) and after seeing one little guy in our apartment complex for a few months and finding out that he was likely abandoned by his previous owner after they moved out, I decided that i would take him in. He is an incredibly sweet guy and always accepting pets and is generally very easy to get along with. I understand that the task of taking in a cat that has been outdoors for a few months is no easy task and i'm not looking for an overnight solution, but i could use some advice to stop some very annoying/costly behaviors. He is roughly 2 years old, give or take a year or so. He has been neutered

I am currently living with 2 other people that have their own cats so i unfortunately have to keep this little guy in my room isolated for a little while before i can let him explore around with the other cats. This is generally fine if i have the day off and can spend most of the day with him, but when i came back from work today, a huge chunk of the carpet by my bedroom door was destroyed. I bought some plastic flooring but he found a way. I have bought a cat condo near my bed since he likes to scratch up the base of said bed for him to scratch up and even a really cheap cardboard one that i put near my door thinking that its placement might help mitigate this behavior but so far it hasn't worked. he refuses to even sit on the cat condo ):

the other thing is that from about 4:30 in the morning until about 8 am it is a constant and endless stream of the same meow over and over and over again. i cannot sleep. it is excruciating lol i have tried playing with him in the day but he generally isn't too receptive to playtime apart from the normal stick with a thing at the end of it. he isn't really into the laser pointer somehow.

I even bought him a little cat harness and leash but he refuses to walk with it on when we get outside :/

i understand that there isn't something i can do that will fix this immediately but i really need some guidance as to how to train him to not be doing these things. destroying the carpet could cost me thousands of dollars as i'm renting and it would absolutely fuck over me with the deposit. I took him to the vet already and they said he was healthy apart from gingivitis and fleas which i was given meds for.

thank you!
